Canon iPF 610 Help

[Laffer]

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with this wide format printer. One of the black inks is partially mixing with the yellow and magenta inks. I've replaced ink tanks and the following picture is coming from a brand new Canon printhead nozzle check. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome.

I'll take a stab at this but be forewarned that there's a lot of guesswork involved. The so called black ink that is contaminating your printhead is probably waste ink backed up from the purge unit and maintenance cart. Renew or replace the maintenance cart if full. Clean and inspect the rest of the purge subsystem. Hope that helps. Good luck.
